Prediction: 1-1

Bordeaux

Toulouse have been producing fine performances at the start of the new Ligue 1 campaign. Les Pitchouns have suffered only two defeats so far this season, but it has to be noted that they failed to grab something from matches against title contenders Monaco and PSG. Toulouse defeated Rennes in their last home game in the French top flight and they head into Friday’s football game against Bordeaux following a goalless draw with Troyes. Pascal Dupraz’s men aim to keep their 100% record at home intact, but beating les Girondins is easier said than done. Bordeaux have yet to suffer a loss in the 2017/2018 Ligue 1 season and they are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the opening match of day 6. A close encounter appears on the horizon and we predict that the teams are going to play out a draw at Stadium Municipal.

Highlighted Player (Alban Lafont):

Alban Lafont is a French goalkeeper who plays for Ligue 1 side Toulouse. Born in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Lafont joined AS Lattoise youth school at the age of nine and he stayed at the academy until 2014 when he moved to Toulouse. The 193-cm-tall goalkeeper has established himself as a first-choice goalkeeper at Toulouse and it has to be noted that he made 36 appearances for the club in the 2016/2017 season, keeping 10 clean sheets in the process. Due to his dual citizenship, Alban Lafont is eligible to represent both Burkina Faso and France on international stage, but he has yet to play for the African team. Alban Lafont represented les Tricolores at youth level and, no doubt, there is a bright future ahead of the talented shoot-stopper who was born on January 23, 1999. The rising star has a contract with Toulouse which expires on June 30, 2020.

Highlighted Team (Bordeaux):

Founded in 1881, Bordeaux are regarded as one of the oldest clubs in France. Les Girondins won their first Ligue 1 trophy in 1950 and 59 years later (2008/2009) they lifted their sixth domestic trophy. Speaking of the club’s European success, Bordeaux did remarkably well to make it to the Champions League semi-finals in 1985, but despite recording a 2-0 win over star-studded Juventus in the return leg, the French club eventually failed to book their place in the final of the elite competition. Famous French footballers Alain Giresse and Jean Tigana were part of the team back then and it has to be noted that Giresse is the player who made the most appearances for les Girondins (587). During the nineties Zinedine Zidane, Christophe Dugarry and Bixente Lizarazu played for Bordeaux and, taking everything into account, it is no surprise they are considered one of the most famous French clubs. Nowadays Les Girondins welcome their rivals at Matmut Atlantique, the stadium which was opened in 2015 and they used to play at Stade Chaban-Delmas in the past.
